10/18/2021, 7:19 AMSaying it shouldn’t be used with the JVM at all is way too generic to be correct.if you use it for short-lived functions, then what’s the benefit?
Otherwise why would the JVM be particularly worse than Node?@Rob Elliot i don’t know nothing about node if i’m honest, i’ve (successfully) tried to avoid it for all those years

It seems like you’re also making some assumptions here that will not be true in all cases: • FaaS calls must always be fast (for some definition of “fast”) • Running bytecode through the JVM is intolerably slow • “Elastic” requires scaling down to zero • The function will not be called often enough to stay warm
